"I want to congratulate Joe Biden on becoming the vice presidential running nominee. Joe is a friend and colleague, a strong experienced leader and a devoted public servant. I look forward to not only seeing him in Denver next week but on the trail as I work to help Barack Obama and Joe Biden along with many other Democratic candidates campaign this fall.
Democrats are going to have a great and unified convention in Denver next week, and I can't wait to be there. I am looking forward to visiting my friends and colleagues from New York, stopping by events like the Emily's List reception, and doing everything I can to champion Barack Obama along the way. Of course, I will also be getting ready for my speech to the convention on Tuesday night. You can see for yourself by following my convention activities on our website at HillaryClinton.com, as well as on social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter"----Hillary Clinton
Thank you for the comment, but as a Democrat for far too long and a staunch supporter of Hillary, I was not going to sit down for this Hillary bashing to continue and damage my party by someone who later claimed not to belong to the party regardless of him using another pseudonym. You can see and hear it all over the media even when it should be Obama's convention the media and the talking heads want to emphasize the supposed rift with Clinton emphasizing the negatives and making Clinton the story. I am not taking any of that as I do not want to see another Republican in the white house. I am tired of what happened to Gore and Kerry with the complicity of these people and the media putting Bush in power and destroying this country for my kids and grandkids.
The above quotes are from Hillary Clinton and I hope it will serve as a buffer against the anti-hillary rhetorics from not only some Obama supporters here but some of Salon's own writers.
Let me open by saying I am a Democrat. Yes at one time I even voted for a Republican (NIXON,sigh yes I know).
I am extremely disappointed by the Democrat's going for Obama. However I am just as happy that they skipped Hillary. I cannot not trust either candidate for various reasons.
Obama:
Voted for FISA
Questionable stands on various social issues.
Wants the US government to support Religious Schools.
Hillary:
Her Husband's pick of William Clinton tells all.
I will be doing a write in Vote for: None of the above.
I never read Donah. I often don't read you. Now ToeKutter is on my ignore list.
Clear enough?
Hillary bashing is a sport to some of them. I am beginning to believe that there are Republican trolls on both sides. I sometimes do roll my eyes at some of the letters in support of Hillary, but I have to remind myself that the Democratic Party does have a moderate wing. However, it is not hard for me to imagine that there are some Rovian operatives here at Salon whose goal is too prevent unity by insulting Hillary supporters, bashing Hillary, and acting out with sexist insults.
It has all come to a bit of a mess, in my estimation.
Good luck with Whack-A-Mole. Sometimes I just don't have the energy.
Yes, I do absolutely believe that Hillary Clinton is earnestly supporting and tirelessly working on behalf of Barack Obama. I honestly don't see where she gets the will or the energy. Part of me just wants to see our national Battered Woman take a rest.
Myself, I intend to rest a bit.
What ever it takes to get rid of these two will be worth whatever "face" Obama loses. Crown her Queen of something.
It's crystal.
The vitriol between Obama and Clinton supporters on this thread, two months after the primaries were settled, is absolutely ridiculous.
After everything this country has endured in the past eight years, do any of you really want the story to be that the United States continued to disintegrate because the Democrats couldn't act like adults and come together to elect their own nominee? Again?
To anyone who would oppose Barack Obama at this point -- or to anyone who would drive a Clinton supporter away through mean-spirited insanity -- the blood of the innocent and the decline of our nation are on your hands, and history will judge you, just as surely as it will judge the current administration.
For the love of God, get over yourselves and do what's right.
Hillary will naturally attract alot of attention at the convention, however I do not think this will hurt Obama chance at becoming President. People know the choice is between John McCain and Obama and most have accepted this reality.
Actions taken by obama, dean, pelosi and others are and were reprehensible. I will not enable these actions by voting for obama. Fuck you, obama, dean, pelosi and all the others who created this situation. To find that after 8 years of the piece of shit bush manipulation to find the same from the Democrats is almost unbearable. And for those who somehow can't understand what we find objectionable, well, I suggest you pull your heads out of your asses and consider what you would do in the indentical circumstances. Course you have to be honest with yourselves to do it.
Oh, independent, those spineless weasles who claim they do not belong to any party and are responsible according to the media for putting Bush to two terms.Now I have to put your crap in perspective because a true Democrat will not continue this.
Ah more petty insults.
Given that I didn't vote for Bush during either election I find your comments amusing. "Spineless weasles"? Oh my. Because I don't feel the need to fall lock-step behind a party to tell me how to think. I think you have it backwards.
What do you mean that Jesse Jackson was not the favorite at the start when he was leading the polls at the start of the Democratic primaries?
Do I really need to explain this?
The same was in 1992, Clinton was not the leading candidate and 2004 Kerry was not the favorite. I am merely pointing out that what the polls initially indicate do not necessary mean that is what will eventually turn out.
Clinton was very much the favorite unless you were listening to pundits in another dimension apart from our own.
That is the reason they have the primary, because what turns out initially as the advantages for Hillary eventually dissipated with some of her own mistakes and the pummeling she got from the media. Ask Dr. Dean and you will understand what I mean.
I'm at least happy you admit that it was her flawed campaign that brought her down. Along with her negativity and a host of baggage carried over the years.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
Once seen as a lunatic fringe, reactionary anti-women groups are courting respectability
